I don’t know about you, but Oliver Stone would have been my first pick for this project. Some paranoid conspiracy vibes could add just the right touch to the story. Plus, football is a familiar subject for Stone and Pacino.

On the other hand, the movie gives De Palma the chance to bring an entirely new context to the phrase “say hello to my little friend“.

Presumably they’re gonna have to cast a Sandusky, though. THAT ain’t gonna be a walk in the park. Either they have to cast a complete nobody or they get someone like Sean Penn who’s well known for taking any role that’s out there, no matter how bizarre or challenging.
